Martin,
I myself recently struggled with this one.
A script set Ive been working on plays multiple sound files for various
events and I wanted to synthesize a description, then the sound, etc. I
planned to use isSpeaking - thinking that it would naturally be available,
but it wasn't. I suppose given JAWS' multiple synthesizer interfaces, some
hardware, some not, it's difficult to determine if something has finished
talking without some upheaval. Oh and don't try and use speechInUse as a
substitute, I did that in a loop and the results weren't pretty...
Sean.
